1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Neuronal firing is regulated by the complex interaction of multiple depolarizing and hyperpolarizing currents; intrinsic firing, which defines the neuronal ability to generate action potentials in the absence of synaptic excitation, is particularly sensitive to modulation by currents that are active below the action potential threshold. Cerebellar unipolar brush cells (UBCs) are excitatory granule layer interneurons that are capable of intrinsic firing; here we show that, in acute mouse cerebellar slices, barium-sensitive background potassium channels of UBCs effectively regulate intrinsic firing. We also demonstrate that these channels are regulated by group II metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs), which we show to be present in both of the known subsets of UBCs, one of which expresses calretinin and the other mGluR1alpha. Finally, we show that background potassium currents controlling UBCs' firing are mediated by at least two channel types, one of which is sensitive and the other insensitive to the GIRK blocker tertiapin. Thus in UBCs, glutamatergic transmission appears to have a complex bimodal effect: although it increases spontaneous firing through activation of ionotropic receptors, it also has inhibitory effects through the mGluR-dependent activation of tertiapin-sensitive and -insensitive background potassium currents.
